Some studies have found that “active” video games -- the kind that involves standing up and moving around, are more effective at conjuring intense physical activity in young children. Data from the tests suggested that participants experienced greater physical intensity when playing active video games (games that required full body participation) compared to outdoor physical activities. The study does not promote the idea of ONLY playing video games but means to provide people with options to make informed decisions while buying video games for their kids. Outdoor games should, however, always be encouraged as those would never be available on the Play Store!
